You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Jon and Jeanie are the epitome of what you would hope for in funeral home personnel. They compliment each other in their respective roles and make the entire painful process less so. I have dealt with them over four deaths in the past 5 1/2 years. They are always professional, informative, helpful and compassionate. I highly recommend the services at Beams Funeral Home.”

“I wanted to take a moment to share my incredibly positive experience with Beams Funeral Home. It is truly a first-class establishment that provided exceptional support during a difficult time. Their team was exceptionally compassionate and understanding, offering truly reasonable pricing without compromising on the quality of their services. The atmosphere at Beams Funeral Home felt very comfortable and welcoming, almost like being in a home, which was a great comfort during such a sensitive period. I particularly wanted to commend Jeanie and Jon, who are unsung heroes in funeral service. Their dedication and care were truly exceptional, and they were available to assist day or night.”
